R. B. MELLER DISPLAY STAND Filed Jan. 8, 1924 s* and 22 extending beyond the fold line 2, and the alined fold lines 6 and 7 respectively. The partially severed portion 22 then appears as Van extension of the perspective surface 17;

and the partially severed portion 23 forins a perspective surface in still different angular relation' to the horizontal.

In the drawings I have shown a display stand advertising a dried fruit. The cutaway portions 22 and 23 forma perspective on which is pictured fresh and dried fruit, thefresh fruit forming a background for a container frorn the openends of which pieces ofv dried Vfruit are falling.

Thus it will lbe seengthat iny invention provides a display stand comprising a plurality of perspective surfaces in different angular relation to the horizontal, so that an observer when viewing the matter displayed will see the various elenients of the design in their perspective relationships. i

Bythe terni perspective surfaces I refer to theangular relationship of one display surface to the other display surfaces which einphasizes the relative positions of the objects sought to be depicted thereon. In order to enhance the optical effect the partially severed portions maybe cut so that theyioutline a particular display element, orsuch display element together with other elements may be shown on the surface byfbeing depicted in perspective relationship thereon.

In sonieinstances it Inay be desirable `to set an actual specimen of the subject niatter of the display within the perspective planes. Forsuch purposethe lines 26 and 27 are perforated, andniay, at the option of the user, be severed,thus providing space inv which the specimen, for example a carton 29 shown in Figure 2, may be seated. In the drawings the area thus affected. is part of the portion 18 and' is indicated in Figure 2 bythe reference numeral 28.` l Y Iclairn: Y

1. A single sheet folded to` form a display st and'having a base and sides, display designs` on one of said sides, a portion of said sheet severed from said base to pivot at one of the folds and forming a 'perspective surface extending from and at an angle to said designcarrying side, said perspective sur- ,.face correlated with said designs in mak' ing a' unitarydisplay.

2. A sheet having opposite ends xedly joined to forni a structurally continuous band and provided with slits and creases to perinit the optional foldingA of the sheet into a flat package or into a stabledisplay stand, a portion of said .sheet partially severed therefrom Ato 'pivot at one of the fold lines and forming a perspective surface extending from and at an angle to said stand, andV designs on said sheet correlated with said perspective surface to forrn al unitary display.

gle,`the legs of which form perspective surfaces, and a portion comprising a surface partially severed therefrom and pivoted thereto kalong the crease of the reentrant angle, said perspective surfaces and said severed portion carrying a correlated advertising design.

4. A single sheet folded to forni a display stand comprising a base and a side disposed at an angle t-o saidibase, a portion of said sheet severed from said base to pivot at one of the fol-ds and forming a perspective surface extending froni said side, and at an angle thereto, anddesignsvon said side correlated with said perspective surface informing a unitary display. f y

5. A single sheet foldedtovform a display stand having a base and sides, display designs on one of said sides, a portion of said sheetsevered from said base to pivot at one of the folds and forming a perspective sur face extending from and at an angle to said design carrying side, said perspective surface correlated with said designs in inaking'a unitary display. i v

6. A single sheet folded to form a'display stand having a base and sides, display .de-

signson one of said sides, a portion ofy said sheet severed from said base to pivot at one of the folds and'forniing a. perspective sur* face extending from and at an angle to said design carrying side, said perspective surface correlated with said designs in making a unitary display, and said sheet provided with creases whereby the 4display stand may be collapsed into a flat package.

In testimony whereof, have hereunto `set y niy hand.
